Robbie Cheadle –
This second I am me book even more compelling than the first one. Also written in rhyming verse, it tells the story of children who have walked with their families to the port and travelled across the ocean to Europe in the home of finding sanctuary from the war in their homeland.
On arrival, they are put in refugee camps where they live behind wire fences, separated from society. The children remain hopeful and try to make the most of their lives and uplift their parents.
“I didn’t know there’d be a wall
of wire – all around, and tall.”
The pictures in this book consist of photographs of children in refugee camps. They are heart wrenching but appropriate for children. The pictures are by Abdulazez Dukhan, Through Refugee Eyes. https://www.facebook.com/throughrefugeeeyes
